Best and Worst of SmackDown Live after Extreme Rules

#2 Worst: Shinsuke Nakamura's promo

There's just something off about Nakamura's gimmick

I don't know if it's the 'Artist' character that's causing a bit of a disconnect. I don't know if it's the language barrier. Somehow, Shinsuke Nakamura's heel character isn't resonating with me anymore. The promo that he cut during the show was rather odd, quite honestly.

Two really bad or maybe just odd segments to start #Smackdown Jeff Hardy is a very weird promo and so is nakamura

Some of his mannerisms have become very strange too. Gone is the charisma machine from NXT, replaced by a real oddball.
